Ktiocktnc AccMeut on the PlUsbnrf
Kntlroad.
CLEVELAND, May B—Yesterday evening
the engineer of the "crab" upon this rood,
• finding it short ot water upon its arrival new,>
concluded to run down to the tank, two
mires from Newburg, for the purpose of re
plenishing it. A gentleman and his w'fe
and Cwe ladies got on at the invitation of the
engineer. They soon reached the tank, and
the signal was given to stop. After water
had been taken in, the gentleman proposed
to ride down to Newbdrg. The engineer
consented, as ail the trains of the day had
pasaed, and nothing but the tender was at
tached to the "crab" and they started off at
the rate of about six miles per hour.
After going about a mile {he engineer
thought he saw an obstruction in the road,
and the brakes were applied, but did not
stop the motion. A most dreadful crash en
sued. The engineer was thrown into the
air and fell upon the track. He struggled to
get out of the way, but could not, and every
wheel passed over his body. One of the
ladies was thrown among the cog.wheels
and machinery of the "crab" and was not
released uutil almost every stitch of clothing
was torn from her. She had receired most
severe injuries upon the forehead, and was
covered with blood. Another woman was
knocked senseless, but not much injured.
The gentleman and remainihg lady escaped
unjtity,
Tile "fcauSe of the dreadful accident was
"icon apparent. Some fiends had imbedded
a plank in the centre of the track, leaving
'the end projecting out several'feet The
whole itiiffg tvas ihahagcd tvlth the ntbst
'infernal'ingenuity. The [iiado selected was
near a high bank, where h tie whs placed
'across the track on the dJ2d of February.
The lady so seriously injured will proba- '
'bly recover. This is the first attempt oat of
many that lias succeeded. We hope that
no pains nor expense will be spared to ferret
out the peipetrators of this damning crime-
Cxt'OHT.—The vidians who is supposed to
have done the above damning deed, has
been caught by our vigilant police, and is
now in custody.—Pi/teWg Journal.
"Opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law.
BOSTON, May 16—The . Senate this inor- 1
'ning passed Ihe following resolutions in op- j
position to the slave law, by a vote of 33 1
yeas to 5 nays—the latter being two Whigs i
and three Democrats :
ItesilveJ, That Massachusetts protests
against the Fugitive Slave haw, as hostile to 1
the sentiments of Christianity, and übliorenl .
to the feelings of the people of the Com
monwealth—that such a law will naturally
fail to secure that support in the beart and
conscience of the community, without winch i
any law must sooner or later become a dead

I3F The Soutlt Carolina Convention, it is
said, has not in the least discomposed the
mind of the government at Washington,
which does not recognize the rigKt of seces

of quicksilver, thes. States, when once uni
ted by the federal cdnafitUMetj, formed one
glorious whole, retaining their local organi
zation, but yielding to the general govern
ment all other existence. Should South Car

not take cognizance of mn*es or Slate or
ganizations. but of individuals, who will
separately ue dealt with as violators of the
law or as guilty of treason, as the case may
be. The District Attorney of South Caroli
na is now at Washington, receiving full in
